Lil Red Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 http://www.patheos.com/blogs/deaconsbench/2012/08/pregnant-man-files-for-divorce/ [indent] The “pregnant man†may soon be a male single mother. [url="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Thomas+Beatie"]Thomas Beatie[/url], a transgender man who bore three children, is filing for divorce from his wife Nancy, [url="http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/local_news/water_cooler/thomas-beatie-pregnant-man-files-for-divorce-from-wife-nancy-beatie-judge-questions-marriage"]WPTV reported[/url]. But a judge is questioning whether their marriage was legally valid in the first place. Beatie is hoping it is, even though it’d be cheaper for him if it wasn’t. He was born as a woman in Hawaii and had a sex change before getting married in 2003, though he still has female reproductive organs. He bore three of the couple’s children because his wife was infertile, and made headlines when photos of him with a beard and a pregnant belly were made public. Hawaii recognizes Beatie, 37, as a man. But Arizona, where he lives now, does not because he still had female organs when he wed Nancy. The state does not allow same-sex marriage.[/indent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Well, I can't say I am surprised. I also hope people stop calling her a guy. You are affiliated with your sexual gender by your sexual organ. I don't care if you look like an Amazon, you're still a woman.

[/quote] Actually, the gender of a person is part of their substance, part of their very essense. As Bl. JPII pointed out, there is no such thing as a human person who happens to be male or female (in philosophical language, gender is NOT accidental to the person), a person is either a male person or a female person, in spite of what they have done to their bodies... What a confused age we live in, let us pray for HER ,and as says Emily Ann, especially for the children! AVE MARIA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Let's be clear. This was not a pregnant man. This was a pregnant woman that had her body modified to appear as a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
